Flower-Visiting Social Wasps and Plants Interaction: Network Pattern and Environmental Complexity

Table 2

Abundance, number of plant species visited, and niche amplitude of the species of social wasps collected in Ibitipoca State Park, MG, Brazil, during the period from November 2007 to October 2008. “RF” means Riparian Forest and “RG” means Rocky Grassland. See Table 3 for the classification and authors of species.
